This morning I was on the campus of Baylor University in Waco, Texas and on the above building I photographed was inscribed:
WISDOM IS BETTER THAN RUBIES
P.S. Waco Related Film Trivia: Actor Steve Martin (and co-host of last year’s Oscars) was born in Waco, as was director Kevin Reynolds (Robin Hood: Prince of Thieves) and director Terrance Malick. (Malick’s Tree of Life, starring Brad Pitt and released earlier this year, was set in Waco.) Author Thomas Harris (Silence of the Lambs) was an English major at Baylor and graduated in 1964. Singer Willie Nelson (who has an IMDB credit or two as musician, actor and producer) briefly attended Baylor. And The Social Network (2010) made mention of Baylor because of the school’s information system.
Talent comes from everywhere.
Don’t think Willie ever went to Baylor, but he was banned from performing at Baylor a few years back for reasons of pot.
Johnny Hancock (The Blind Side) also went to Baylor undergrad.
